Dr. Dani Sanchez<p>There’s some debate about whether “The Four Seasons” was written to correspond with poetry or not but often times a series of unattributed sonnets are printed in programs for performances of the piece. Either way here’s the piece that may or may not correspond with the “Summer” movement:

Dr. Dani Sanchez<p>First up, “Concerto No. 2 in G minor, Op. 8, RY 315, "'Summer" (L'estate) (<a href="https://tinyurl.com/55xrww6e" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">tinyurl.com/55xrww6e</span><span class="invisible"></span></a>) which is the second movement from Italian violinist &amp; composer Antonio Vivaldi’s concerti “Le Quattro Stagioni” AKA The Four Seasons”. Vivaldi was a pioneer in introducing descriptive and programmatic music and “The Four Seasons” is a great example of that.

Abram Kedge 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇨🇦<p>Giving <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Vivaldi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Vivaldi</span></a> a try (it has been a few years). First I loaded up the few online games I've written... all good, drag and drop feels fast and smooth - I imagine there's no built-in way to transfer local storage data from Firefox, but I can hack a way to do that via the server later. </p><p>So far the only downside is that extensions have to come from the Chrome store, and those bustards block access from mobile browsers.</p><p>I'm hoping that Vivaldi sync will pick up the ghostery extension if I can install it in Vivaldi on my laptop.</p><p>EDIT: The ghostery extension works on desktop VIvaldi, but it seems that it isn't available on mobile. I think I'll stick with Firefox on mobile - I can't stand those Cookie consent pop-ups, I never want to see another one.</p>
